Night, indoors.
Teiichi Kanae asked with some concern:
"Did many injured players come today? Why do you look so tired?"
Kanae gently shook her head. "No, I was just doing my own research."
Having said that, he spread his arms slightly to the sides and walked towards Teiichi.
Upon Teiichi, Ding Yi quickly opened his hands as well.
Nestled in familiar arms, Kanae felt a wave of warmth wash over her.
She nestled her head in his arms, finding a more comfortable position, then stopped talking and began to breathe softly.
"What kind of research is so tiring?" Teiichi asked softly.
Kanae squirmed gently in Teiichi's arms.
"Don't talk, I need to recharge!"
Upon Teiichi, Teiichi smiled gently, then remained silent, quietly embracing Kanae.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and its pure light streamed into the room through the glass.
The two embraced quietly inside the room.
After a long while, Kanae gently removed her hands from Teiichi's body.
Teiichi, "Let me get some hot water for you to soak your feet. It's good for your health and won't be so tiring!"
"Hmm? Is soaking your feet good for your health? I've never heard of that before."
"Of course, that's what they say in my hometown!"
"Your hometown? I don't recall ever hearing that your hometown has such a name?"
"With so many different versions of the story, how could you possibly have heard them all?"
Teiichi sophistry, then, without waiting for Kanae to ask any further questions, strode quickly outside.
After a while...
Teiichi carried a basin of hot water back into the house.
Looking at Kanae, who was leaning against the headboard in her pajamas, reading a book, Kanae Teiichi bluntly:
"Sit down quickly! It's time to soak your feet!"
Kanae chuckled softly upon seeing this, obediently shifting her position to sit on the edge of the bed, with her feet dangling down the side of the bed.
Teiichi placed the hot water at Kanae's feet.
Bare, jade-like feet gently trod on the edge of the basin, small and well-proportioned.
Her skin was like the petals of a newly opened lily, radiating a soft, warm glow.
Teiichi moved a low stool and sat down in front of the basin. His gaze lingered on Kanae's feet for a moment before he subtly looked away.
"Alright, put your foot down!"
Kanae nodded slightly upon hearing this, and lifted one foot to dip into the basin of water.
As soon as my toes touched the hot water, I lifted them up.
Teiichi looked up.
"What's wrong?"
"Hot!"
Upon Teiichi, Dingyi reached out and stirred the hot water in the basin.
"It's not hot, this is the right temperature. A slightly warmer temperature is better for foot baths! Take it slow, and you'll get used to it after a few tries!"
"Where did you get so many strange sayings from your place!"
Kanae muttered something, but still obediently tried it out.
Her fair feet lightly touched the hot water a few times, like a dragonfly skimming the surface, before finally slowly slipping inside.
The next moment, Teiichi's hand followed closely, reaching into the water and grasping that delicate jade foot.
My first impression.
exquisite!
My second feeling.
Smooth!
No...
Before Teiichi what was happening, Kanae jerked her feet out of the water as if she'd been electrocuted.
Water splashed everywhere, wetting Teiichi's clothes.
"What are you doing?" Teiichi looked at Kanae with some surprise.
Kanae, her face flushed, looked at Teiichi, "What are you doing here?"
Teiichi explained, "I'll give you a massage to help you relax!"
Kanae turned her head away shyly.
"No... no need, I can wash it myself!"
"Really, it feels more comfortable and makes you more relaxed!" Teiichi explained.
"Really, you don't need to. I can wash it myself!"
"Quickly, listen to me!"
Kanae hesitated for a moment, then looked at Teiichi and asked, "Is this also the saying from your hometown?"
"Of course!" Teiichi.
"Where do you get so many strange sayings from your hometown!"
Kanae muttered something, but still put her feet back into the basin.
Teiichi reached out again and grabbed Kanae's foot in his hand.
The moment their hands and feet touched, even though she was mentally prepared, Kanae's cheeks still involuntarily flushed slightly.
Teiichi took Kanae's foot in his hand and gently pressed it.
Teiichi gazed at the exquisite jade foot in her hand while feeling the indescribable sensation transmitted back to her palm.
I couldn't help but sigh:
Netizens were right!
Foot fetishism isn't entirely without reason!
Time flows slowly.
A sense of comfort kept coming from the soles of her feet, and Kanae gradually got used to it and was no longer so shy.
Kanae stared blankly at Teiichi, who was diligently massaging her feet, a smile unconsciously curving her lips.
Mom and Dad, I've finally found a family that truly cares for and loves me!
Teiichi looked up and saw Kanae looking dazed. He asked:
"What's wrong?"
Kanae snapped out of her reverie upon hearing this, stared at Teiichi's face for a moment, and then gently shook her head.
"Fine!"
Teiichi nodded upon hearing this, then lowered her head to rub those delicate jade feet.
Kanae suddenly said, "Oh, right, I discovered something during my research today!"
"What is it?" Teiichi didn't look up, continuing what he was doing.
"Do you remember that I drew some Nezuko's blood to study this matter before?"
"I remember! Didn't I go with you? What's wrong?"
"We ran out of that blood a while ago, and Nezuko's been staying at the Butterfly Mansion lately, so I went and asked for some more. That's when I discovered Nezuko is really special!"
Upon Teiichi, Dingyi stopped what he was doing.
Nezuko's special qualities are something every Pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps knows!
So the fact that Kanae brought this up again means that she has discovered something even more special about Nezuko.
"Did you discover something else?" Teiichi looked up at Kanae.
"Um!"
Kanae nodded slightly and said:
"I discovered that Nezuko's blood and Wisteria can react!"
Teiichi, "Isn't this normal? If there's no reaction, the Wisteria won't harm the ghost!"
Kanae, "That's not it!"
Nezuko's blood reacts to Wisteria Wisteria in a way that is not typical of demon blood!
When a demon's blood comes into contact with Wisteria, it immediately merges with the blood and then begins to decay!
Nezuko's blood reacts with Wisteria, but it doesn't decay in the end!
Teiichi asked, "Why is that?"
Kanae gently shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't figured out the specific reason yet, but I have a feeling that if I do, it will be very useful!"
Teiichi slightly, took the fair, jade-like foot back into his hands, and unconsciously began to rub it.
However, this time my attention wasn't focused on it.
My thoughts started to wander.
Nezuko's fearlessness of Wisteria is likely due to her eating Blue Spider Lily.
She wasn't even afraid of the sunlight, let alone the Wisteria.
but...
Sunlight?
Wisteria?
Thinking of this, Teiichi's eyes lit up.
Although it shouldn't be too difficult for me to step on Tanjiro and carry Nezuko at that time.
However, it seems there's a better solution now...
Noticing that Teiichi had stopped moving, Kanae asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Teiichi slowly raised his head to look at Kanae.
Do you think Nezuko might not even be afraid of the sun?
